Available modes
Deathmatch
Deathmatch is the cornerstone brawler mode of Deformers. Defeat your opponents to earn points and rise to the top of the scoreboard in a free-for- 8 all battle royale. The higher your score, the better chance you have of winning the match!
Almost everything you do earns points. Defeating opponents, dealing damage, using Powers, and even eating debris can increase your score.
Team Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch pits two teams against each other in a fight for supremacy. In Team Deathmatch, your team shares a collective score. Rules are the same as normal Deathmatch but this time, you can have up to 4 friends watching your back!
Form Ball
Take your Forms and your skills to the pitch and get ready to ram, jump, shoot, grab, throw, and defend your goal in this team sport mode. Youll be on either the Blue or the Orange team, and your goal is to get the Form Ball into the opposite teams goal. If youre Blue, try to put the ball into the Orange goal and vice-versa!
Score more goals than the enemy team to ensure a better chance at victory. Dont be afraid to take out players with your short, mid, and long-range combat actions to give your team an advantage when heading in for a goal.
In the event of a tie, the winners will be determined by their teams collective score. Earn additional points for your team by defending or assisting on goals, defeating enemy players, and eating Gibs.
Custom
Start a Custom match to play privately with your friends, or get in some target practice against Dummies. Dummies are Forms without AI that dont move perfect for practicing your aim with shooting and ramming, and trying out Powers against them to see how they work!
In a Custom match, you can select your preferred Game Mode (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, or Form Ball) and choose the arena you want to play on.
If you have more than 4 players in your Party, youll automatically be restricted to Custom matches only.

Ranger:
Well rounded. This class is the base class and the jack of all trades. While not excelling at any specific action, they can keep up with other classes in shoot, ram, block, and throw. This class provides players with the most balanced approach to every combat situation, with the weakness of none.
Striker:
Hits likes a ton of bricks! This class is the brute of Deformers. As the second biggest in size, their Ram ability deals heavy damage and provides the most displacement so they can knock their opponent of the platform much easier. Since this class gains so much from their Ram, they suffer at shooting and their big size makes them a big target.
Guardian:
Rock Solid. This class is the tank of Deformers. The biggest in size, they have greatly increased health so they can take more punishment than others. Blocking is the key to victory as they are the only class that can deal damage with their block ability when they block a Ram. Due to their size and health, this class is the slowest of the classes and deals decreased damage with their Ram.
Marksman:
Eagle eye sharpshooter. This class is built around the shoot ability. They have the ability for players to hold down the Shoot button and unleash a barrage of Tribs. This class is able to shred enemies with their auto-fire. They are a soft target with average defense and lower health so their will need to use all of their abilities to keep their range advantage.
Speedster:
Get juked! This class is the smallest and the fastest of all classes. Their increased agility and mobility lets them run circles around their enemies. When speed isn't enough, they have a few other tricks up their sleeves to help them get the job done. This class also has lower health so think fast, play smart, and don't get hit.

Prestige Seasons!
What is Prestige?
Prestige is our version of a skill-based competitive system that is based on your individual performance across all game modes. When you start the game, youll notice a sweet little icon next to your username. This is your Prestige Rank. The icon will grow with you, moving through Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond Ranks as you conquer the battlefield. The higher your rank, the more people will fear you and your arsenal of Forms! Oh, and the exclusive Prestige awards dont hurt either.

How do I rank up?
Once you finish a game and collect all your fat loot from the Leveling ceremony, youll be moved to the Prestige Screen. From here, youll be given awards based on your performance. Each game mode has 6 categories that you can be graded on with a 1 Star, 2 Star, or 3 Star award. The more stars you earn, the more points go towards your Prestige Rank! You can also earn bonus awards based on your placement in Deathmatch, or by earning yourself an MVP award in Team modes. Youll never lose Prestige when you lose a game, but the better you perform, the faster youll rank up!

Well, whats the point of all this?
Im glad you asked! We want our players to shoot for that Diamond rank and really get into gear when it comes to competitive play. So were going to run through Prestige Seasons. Prestige Seasons let you compete to be the best of the best, and earn unique rewards along the way. Each player starting out at the beginning of a Prestige Season, all players will start at the Bronze rank and theyll have immediate access to the special Bronze reward for that season.. Each time you hit a major milestone (Silver, Gold, or Diamond), you can unlock a new style for FREE in the Workshop. Prestige Season rewards will be labeled with a golden lock, with each reward themed to the appropriate rank. Our first wave of rewards will be the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond Shields. Make sure you unlock these during the Season, because If you dont unlock them during the current Season, youll miss out on them forever!
